Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Matthew! My pleasure, and I'm so glad you found my answer helpful. It sounds like you have a game plan for some work ahead. Yes, it's possible that by not being #1, you may be missing some traffic, but it might not be as much as you think, given that you are in the top 3. In your shoes, I'd be counseling myself to focus a little less on rankings and a little more on broadening my company's visibility for secondary terms in the local-organic results. The size of your city (population about 100,000) convinces me that you could really cover the waterfront of things people in Tyler need with the right content strategy and harness some highly targeted/highly converting traffic. Rand, in particular, has done some amazing Whiteboard Fridays over the past year or so about content, keywords, etc. I hope you'll take full advantage of this section of the Moz Blog: https://moz.com/blog/category/whiteboard-friday Good luck!

Definitely go for Option 1: redirecting to the relevant pages on the singular domain. I would also recommend using subfolders to contain content on individual locations, something similar to rapturecamps.com/bali for Bali information. This would allow you to gain authority for that specific niche and add articles to that niche, rather than having them all under one central holder (the root domain).

Agreed, the redirects/canonicals should be permanent (well, for as long as you want the authority to pass along). You would see changes in serps within 2 weeks usually.

Hey there! If there is already a breadcrumb at the top of the page, I don't think this is necessarily something you would need to add. However, I don't think it would negatively impact your SEO results. Hope this helps!

When using the canonical ensure you use the full URL. There are multiple protocols that can be addressed at a domain, for example, ftp, so including the http:// would be best practise. A side note about canonicals, if in the future you are planning on moving to https then ensure you update your canonicals. Depending on how you currently deploy your website; WordPress etc, you could use a simple php script to store a variable of protocol which will change globally if the file is updated.

Hi there Alot of this sounds off to me. First, I'd think you'd want /category living in the navigation, be indexed, have links, and have a great user experience. In my mind, www.example.com/category?view=all should only exist as a filtering URL when you change the number of URLs you want to see on the page itself. You'll have substantially more luck focusing on version A in my opinion. Focus on creating a great user experience and optimization strategy, and you should reap the benefits at a deeper level. Let me know if this helps! Good luck! Patrick

Hello, There is no discernible difference to Google whether your internal links are located through buttons, icons, or the sidebar. The primary navigation bar is held as a slight priority over internal links on your pages, but only because of link juice flowing through your site. If your links are tracking through your services page, your primary concern should be around user experience - are users more likely to use the buttons that are currently there, or would a sidebar create easier transitions from page to page? The answer to that question should determine whether you decide to change up your page. Personally, I think you are better off with buttons and/or images to help visitors find exactly what they're looking for when they transfer to your services page. Hope this helps and feel free to get in touch if you have further questions. Cheers, Rob

All makes sense Thanks very much

Hey there! Tawny from Moz's Help Team here. I'm afraid I have to be the bearer of bad news - we don't have an API that would allow you to export all your crawl issues from all your campaigns at once. The only way to export that data is to get the Crawl CSV from each campaign individually. Sorry about that! If you've got more questions we can help with, feel free to shoot us a note over at help@moz.com and we'll do what we can to sort things out for ya!

DA is not related to Google updates as it is a score given by Moz and as I already said, it only updates when a new Mozscape index is available. The drop you noticed in February must have happened with the 26/1 update. If you did see a change in it today, it was likely because they were trying to roll out the new index (and failed).

Hi Martijn. How to create trigger for such things via tag manager? via event? or let me give some idea how to write script on page? Thanks!

Thank you so much for your help. I think the past few site crawl reports were quite on time, normally just a day later than the scheduled day.  You mentioned our site appears to be large in size, may I know if our site size has been increased recently or the same as the previous time ?

Hi Stephen, Defintely use the first example! The second could be seen as keyword stuffing in the eyes of Google which would hurt your chances of ranking instead of helping them. The first way is also just much cleaner looking. You never want your URL to be too long.

CleverPhD, Well, BCMull didn't mention subfolders in the question, so I am unclear as to whether that is because they decided against that for some reason, or if they did not consider subfolders as an option to begin with. Based on the question only, I would vote for subdomains over independent domains. IMO, whether or not to use subfolders versus subdomains is a business and organizational decision, as well as an information architecture, design, and SEO decision. IOW, I see SEO as part of the larger tradeoffs made in any project. From a purely SEO perspective in terms of link equity, I agree that folders are the way to go and the link equity will bring up the entire brand and site for all dealers. But would folders make sense within the larger picture and their overall business and project goals? I don't know, as I don't know Bcmull's project details and requirements. Link equity is one consideration, but not the only one. -- Jewel

Hey, If you check today's whiteboard Friday with Dr. Pete (https://moz.com/blog/arent-301s-302s-canonicals-all-basically-the-same-whiteboard-friday), he mentions this case: "Some types of 302s just don't make sense at all. So if you're migrating from non-secure to secure, from HTTP to HTTPS and you set up a 302, that's a signal that doesn't quite make sense. Why would you temporarily migrate?" So answering your question, Google probably considered your initial http -> https redirects as 301.
